Great stuff
For the price it is definitely a good pick. It however can't grind small quantities. Also if you wish to grind a very large volume you may have to do it in batches. If you are patient enough to run it with the right volumes you get the best results. If you need the best belnder you need to spend the right amount. For this price it delivers more than its value.

A perfect addition to the college student's kitchenware
This blender is probably one of the best around at its price, but don't be fooled based on this sentence alone into thinking that you'll get a better blender by just paying a few extra dollars.Spending under $20 on this one will do you fine.
Lumpy lumpy lumpy
Every smoothie came out lumpy, and with a bit of plastic aftertaste.I've had three blenders in the past. All could chop up almonds if you waited long enough, added a little juice, and tapped the sides.This thing has such a large and round jar with such small blades that it will just not reach every piece. Lumps and more lumps. I even tried sharpening the blades. The Krups turned almonds to powder in 10 seconds. This turnes almonds to small pieces in 2 minutes. So it makes a good alarm clock to wake the whole house.Even the banana was still lumpy. I read all these reviews and no one mentioned this problem.I'm definitely getting a different blender. ...

With a 225-watt motor for accomplishing tough jobs, this compact hand mixer provides power and versatility. Two sets of stainless-steel beaters--traditional flat-bladed and easy-cleaning wire--and a whisk for whipping cream and beating egg whites come with the mixer, and six speeds are available by pushing a button atop the handle with your thumb. In addition, just below the speed control, there is another thumb-activated button, which Hamilton Beach calls the QuickBurst. This button provides an extra charge, available at any speed, for powering through tough tasks. Other attributes include a rest so the mixer can hang on a bowl's edge instead of messing up the counter with dripping beaters or whisk, a flat platform on the mixer's end so it stands up for compact storage, a tangle-free cord, and dishwasher-safe beaters and whisk.

Portable Hand Mixer
I wanted a portable mixer to be able to grab in a hurry.This works fine and is perfect for which I wanted it.If I need something bigger I use my Kitchen Aid on a stand.Nice quality for the price.I like the way the cord is stored.

#1 speed setting too fast
OK, for twenty bucks it works reasonably well.We like the storage container to hold the attachments.But if you're looking for a lower speed to blend ingredients like flour or pancake mix, buy something else.The #1 speed setting is way too fast.Anything higher than #4 will decorate your kitchen walls "at no extra charge".

Works well
I cook for a family of 5.

Good oven - beware warranty pitfalls...
We had had this oven for a couple months when the door would no longer stay shut.I tried jamming a wooden spoon against it to hold it shut while cooking, but found this sort of absurd.So I called Cuisinart for warranty service.They said they'd replace my oven with a new one, but I had to pay to ship the oven to their warehouse in NJ and it would take a few weeks.In the meantime my husband found a set of little magnets at our local craft store, and fixed the problem!So I wasn't going to ship the oven to NJ - until a replacement oven arrived...before I even sent the first one out.Hmmmm.
nice toaster unless you want toast
I was given this toaster as a gift.It is a nice looking and does not take up too much counter space.The only problem is that it does not toast english muffins crisp.The bottom element does not get especially hot and after calling Cuisinart I discovered the instructions were incorrect. You must turn the rack so it is closest to the bottom burner.After trying this for a few days and remaining unsatisfied, I returned the toaster and pull out my old Delonghi.

Great oven, bad shipping
It's a fantastic toaster oven!I've used it to toast and bake, and everything comes out great... and so much more convenient than turning on the big oven on a hot summer day, just for cooking a small amount of food.

Worst coffee maker ever
This thing takes an hour to brew a pot and makes the biggest mess ever. The coffee is weak and it is impossiable to clean.

Not Strong enough...
My husband and I are from Seattle, where we take our coffee very seriously.This product proved to be tempting with it's built in grinder/timer (the fresher the grind the better cup of coffee).However, we have found this feature to be sub-par, as the grind isn't adjustable, and it tends to be too large, therefore not emitting enough of the coffee flavor.We have just bypassed the whole grinding option, and gone back to grinding our own...and now the carafe just broke!Buy something else.

THESE BREAK DOWN! NO WONDER THEY'RE REFURBISHED!
I have purchased and used 4 of these Cuisinart machines. Although I love the ability to have fresh ground coffee in the morning, they ARE difficult to clean--too many parts to take out, clean and put back every day.

Topped by a bun warmer with a transparent lid, this Champ is a variant of the popular George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine. The electric appliance's appeal lies in its simplicity and countertop convenience--not to mention its fat-fighting ability. The double-sided grill (a 6-by-7-inch nonstick cooking surface) cooks burgers, steaks, chicken, sausage, fish, shrimp, and vegetables top and bottom in minutes. (Recipes accompany the grill.) Grill marks not only look appetizing, they contribute caramelized flavor. The bottom grill's deep grooves collect fat, and the grill is sloped so the fat runs off into a dishwasher-safe plastic tray stationed under the unit's front.Read more

Features

• Great for grilling burgers, fish, vegetables
• Includes dishwasher-safe plastic drip tray and spatula
• Also includes bun warmer
• Patented grill grooves let oil run off while food is cooking
• Interior wipes clean easily

Cooking is fun, cleanup is not
This grill works best with hamburgers and pre-cooked hot dogs.I seldom used the bun warmer though.The only drawback was the grill plates could not be removed to facilitate eassier cleanups.This eventually made me dread cooking on it because it was such a tedious task to degrease and rinse. The next one I buy will definitely be the one with removable plates.

Get the upgraded grill with the removable plates instead.
I wish I had. This one goes to the Goodwill. Grill plates are fixed and a chore to clean. Grill leaves uncooked areas if height is irregular, like a chicken breast. Hamburgers work best. Watch out for burns!

I love it!
I absolutely love my little george forman grill!Whereas before I didn't cook much, I now make chicken and fish and such pretty often because it's so easy on this grill.And the bun warmer works fine for me, just put the bun in when you start cooking and it's nice and warm when you're done.Highly recommended! ...

You Get What You Pay For
As I always do, I did lots of research on electric can openers before buying the West Bend.I have a manual side opening one made by ONO which is also great, but since I open at least 6 cans of dog food/day, I wanted to go electric.
Very sexy
This is a gorgeous appliance.It cuts nicely and is easy to work with, however, I dislike how tightly the magnet holds onto the lid.I have to hold the piercing handle with one hand and remove the lid with the other to avoid being cut.

Wonderful and healthy too!
My very first batch of yogurt was sensational.I was immediately aware that grocery store yogurt is artificial tasting in comparison to this light, smooth, delicate stuff of the angels.I was afraid I wouldn't like it plain, and did add a little honey to the first cup I ate, but it didn't really need it.
Works every time
I've had my yogurt maker since May06 and it works great.I follow the instructions that came with the maker and usually use the powdered yogurt starter although I've also used store bought yogurt too.I agree that the jars are a bit hard to clean even when you soak them, you still need to scrub to get the yogurt off.Also (since I take the jars to work for snack) they leak a bit, so if they have to be transported, I put the jar in a ziplock bag.
Great yogurt, mine does have a timer
I've been using this yogurt maker for about six months now with great results. The steps are: heat milk, cool milk, mix with either yogurt starter OR just some store bought yogurt, set the timer and away you go. You can use whole, skim or low-fat milk. There are instructions included for adding fruit/flavorings; but I'm lazy about it and simply add that stuff after my yogurt is made and avoid the extra steps involved.

this shield really makes using the mixer a lot easier.i love the fact that this shield doesn't have a removable shoot.i've used others that did and the crack where it connects makes it messy to use it for liquids.

FINALLY A TRUE "SLOW" COOKER
After trying (and returning) several slow cookers which both overcooked the food on low heat, I purchased this West Bend 84765 model.Put together some potatoes, chicken thighs, broccoli, carrots, etc.Left on LOW for 10 hours....vegetables were juicy and flavorsome...chicken was fall-off-the-bone moist.This is the way a slow cooker should cook....everything should turn out tender and juicy.Thanks for all of your opinions on this site, which convinced me to purchase this wonderful slow cooker!

Great cooking
I just love my new pot.I can cook, braise, saute and slow cook all in the same pot.I love it.

Great product!
Purchased this slow cooker after my other one bit the dust. This is an EXCELLENT slow cooker--it looks small in the package, but holds more than you think. The teflon coating is perfect for easy cleanup--aluminum container is light to pick up and move (with oven mits). I've not used the bottom as a griddle, but purchased this as a true slow cooker. I've done chili, soups, meats and am very pleased. Watch the temperature controls until you get used to them. The tote is a bonus-easy to store that way and keep it unscratched, but I've not transported anything. I've tried several slow cookers and this is simply the best design and performance. Light, easy to clean, fairly large (mid-size roasts) capacity. You shouldn't be disappointed if you buy one. ... Read more

Large enough to grind up to 2-1/2 ounces of coffee beans (enough for 12 cups), this powerful grinder ensures that freshly ground coffee is quickly available, even for big coffeemakers in the office. The details are what make this grinder exceptional: The lid is transparent for monitoring the grind, and has two down-pointing ribs to guide beans toward the blades for even grinding. The design of the stainless-steel blades, combined with the 150-watt motor, means beans can be ground quickly without overheating and spoiling the coffee's taste. For safety, the grinder will not work unless the lid is securely in place and locked down. Finally, the power cord wraps around the grinder's bottom for neat storage. Clad in elegant black , the grinder carries a one-year warranty against defects. Read more

Features

• Grinds beans for up to 12 cups of coffee
• Powerful 150-watt motor provides quick grinding without overheating

With the Lids Off jar opener, Black & Decker has simplified the opening of jars to a no-strain, one-hand operation. Electrically powered, the Lids Off cradles a jar on its lower turntable then grips its lid when you lower the upper housing. Push the large power button, and—voila!—the lid is twisted free. Designed for use on metal or plastic lids, the opener makes a handy tool for anyone and can be especially helpful for those with weak hands or arthritis. The unit accommodates a wide range of jars, from baby food to spaghetti sauce, anything up to 4-1/2 inches in diameter and 8 inches high. It is not intended, however, for the very narrow necks of beer bottles or tall jars of juice. Measuring 8-1/2 by 7-3/4 by 10 inches, the Lids Off is collapsible for space-efficiency and comes with built-in power cord storage. Read more

Features

• Electric jar opener that easily releases vacuum-sealed lids
• Simple operation, adjustable height, and large release button

This was a great gift!
I bought this as a gift for someone with arthritis in their hands and it has helped them tremendously!Great buy!

a big disappointment
I have arthritis in my hands, so opening jars is painful for me.We bought this as a Mother's Day gift, and it worked well about 4 times.Although it never did open large jars. Then it stopped working at all.It's bulky, takes up too much space in my kitchen -- all in all, a dead waste of time, energy, money, and space.A big, big disappointment.

No more sore hands!
Sorry I didn't buy this jar opener sooner.It is so easy to use.I used it within minutes of its arrival.Bottles I was afraid to bring home from the store in the past for fear I would not be able to open them, no longer is the case.Love to show others how easy it is to use.My hands enjoy not being in pain due to trying to open jars.

It may seem like a contradiction, but sharp knives are the safest. With a clean edge, a knife is more predictable and easier to control. If you've purchased a top-of-the-line knife, maintaining the quality of the blade ensures maximum value from your investment. This Chef's Choice knife sharpener performs professional-quality sharpening on any knife, from gourmet knives to hunting knives--even serrated knives can be sharpened with this machine. For top-quality edges, there are two sharpening and honing stages, which use 100 percent diamond abrasives, and a final polishing stage. Each stage uses precision angle guides to create a unique Trizor-Plus edge for maximum sharpness and durability, while a magnetic pad collects residue so the machine is easy to clean and maintain. While a sharp knife is indeed a safe knife, it's wise to use caution with your newly sharpened knives, as they'll be sharper than you expect. Read more

Features

• Three-stage precision sharpening
• Works for gourmet chef's knives, butcher knives, sporting knives, serrated knives
• 100 percent diamond abrasive will never detemper
• Unique Trizor-Plus edge provides greater sharpness and durability

Sharp but not cutting edge...
I was expecting to create a knife edge that I could shave with. Well, maybe not that sharp, but sharp enough to cut a piece of paper like butter. Maybe I've seen too many movies. Anyway, the sharpener is easy to use but the full verdict is not out yet. Thus far, thus good.

Sharp enought to shave
An excellent product.The directions are clear and simple and following them results in a very, very sharp knife in just a few seconds.I have been sharpening knives for all my friends and relatives.The results couldn't be better

Nice Machine but Bad Options
These machines are great, unfortunately the coffee used in the Douwe Egberts pods is horrible. I was going to get rid of my machine until a friend brought over some different pods. I suggest spending a little extra money and buying quality pods - the difference is markedly different. I personally buy mine from www.familyroast.com as they have a cool story but lots of people are making pods that fit this machine now. For what its worth - I hope it helps.

Great Deal, Great Product
I love these pods for my Senseo coffee machine.One grocery store near me sells these (the others do not) and they only have two choices of flavors, so I was really happy to see all the options here.I love the Paris (vanilla) and the Vienna (Hazelnut).The Vienna is a little stronger coffee flavor, which I like, but some may not.My husband prefers the Paris, and we buy the mild roast for every day.The medium is too dark for my husband, and the mild is very smooth and just right.The price on Amazon is much, much better than buying them in the grocery store as well.

What you would expect from a commercial smoothie maker
I was looking for a new blender to make smoothies with after burning the motor out on two previous ones.I was also tired of having to stick spoons into the blenders and mash down the ice/fruit to get it to blend thoroughly.The Back to Basics Smoothie Maker solves this problem by providing everything you would expect to find in a commercial machine.
We are having a blast!!
This is our first smoothie maker and we are having a great time! It is so easy touse and clean. I just whipped up a smoothie using peach nonfat yogurt, frozen blueberries, frozen mango, 1 frozen banana (just throw your over-ripe bananas in the freezer), orange/pineapple juice and ice. It was ready in 1 minute!! Needless to say, with those ingredients how could it not taste wonderful. I can't believe how powerful this machine is as I am used to a plain ole blender that used to overheat.
powerful machine
After years of trying to make smoothies in a regular blender, and having to stop and stir, and stop and stir, and worry about burning out the motor, we now don't have to worry any more. Even when ALL of the fruit we add is frozen, this machine grinds, chops, and smooths with impressive power. It's fairly easy to clean, provided you don't wait for days, and has a handy pouring valve thing. A few recipes are included. ... Read more

Brown and slow cook in the same pan?
This slow cooker is a step above the rest.You can sauté meat in the pan to brown it on your stove, then add the "slow cook" ingredients and liquid and let it go on the slow cooker base.They claim that you can use the base as a grill, but I've never tried that part.
Watch out for that non-stick coating!
I purchased this slow cooker because it has such a good review from flylady.com.
temperature settings don't work
Had high hopes for this slow cooker based on Amazon reviews, but based on my first attempt (buffalo stew) this device should be renamed "fast cooker".All four temperature settings resulted in overcooking.Even at the "keep warm" setting the stew continued to boil, so the stew turned into mush.Don't buy it! ...

It's The Best Buy For The Money On The Market Today
This machine is not "breakable" as someone at this page has suggested.If you drop it on a tile floor maybe, or it falls from an airplane. Instead, it's the best buy on the market today. We tested all kinds of panini makers. Even the most expensive still produced just a sandwich. This one makes great panini sandwiches for a whole lot less and it will make four at a time. It has a true floating top that allows for sandwiches 2 to 2 and 1/2 inches thick. It's easy to clean off with a paper towel after cooking. It's nonstick so you don't have to add calories with oil or butter. Make a good panini bread yourself or get a nice sourdough roll and slice thinly.Wonderful!

WORTH THE MONEY!!!
My friend purchased the Breadman Panini Maker a few months ago.Every time we spoke he was making some kind of Panini sandwich.He raved about this panini maker so I had to get one for myself.I LOVE IT!It is so easy to clean.It is such a wonderful item that I would've paid double the price if I new how well it worked. It's hard for me to believe that anyone could be disappointed with this item.

Ideal for dinner parties of two or four, this breadmaker produces aromatic, piping hot fresh bread in 45 minutes. Compact enough to easily fit on a countertop (or table!), the appliance produces loaves that are 3-1/2 inches by 5-1/2 inches and 4-1/2 inches tall, just the right size for intimate dinner parties. The oval bread pan gives the loaves a distinctive shape and a little dimple. Operation is as easy as putting the dough into the breadmaker and pressing two buttons, and several recipes are included, such as sunflower oat wheat, Swiss-jalapeño, and feta cheese--and nutritional information for each recipe is also included. The directions are extensive, complete with a troubleshooting guide. The breadmaker's viewing window is especially nice, and lets you watch your bread take shape. This breadmaker comes with a 90-day warranty. Read more

Terrific Bread!
Less than an hour after the UPS truck left my new breadmaker on the doorstep, I was taking a gorgeous little loaf out of the machine.
A Must Have
I purchased this breadmaker about three years ago.I was impressed by the 45 minutes from start to a finished loaf of bread.This is an EXCELLENT little machine that makes a loaf of bread "Just For Dinner."I use mine all the time and keep telling my friends they need one too.If you decide to make two loaves -- you need to wait about 15-20 minutes for the breadmaker to cool down between, but I've done that when I was having company for dinner.It was nice to set one loaf of fresh baked bread at each end of the table. Everyone who has seen it has been impressed.What's great too is many times in the evening I will make a loaf for lunches the next morning.It's so quick. I have noticed that my loaf always rises nice and big if I warm my liquid to at least room temperature (or a little more) first.I have experimented, and the only times my loaf has been a little smaller was when I left my liquid at refrigerator temperature and made my bread. Fresh bread is always the best bread and with this breadmaker I rarely ever have any left over...but it's only 45 minutes to another fresh loaf.

Fast for marinating....
I have only used it a few times so far but it has always worked well. I do only hand wash it after reading previous reviews so that could be helping it stay in good shape. It seems like I never have alot of time when I am ready to grill so this product works well for time saving. It gives the meat great flavor in a short amount of time marinating.

Great concept, but canister needs to be redesigned.
I have had four of these, and three have failed.The first two developed cracks, and I suspect that the dishwasher, in which I only washed the bottom part of the marinator as advised, warped and weakened them.After buying two more, the first two having been relegated to the potting shed as seed-starters, I have handled them with kid gloves so to speak, (no dishwasher), and the seal on one fails to hold for even a few hours.So far, so good with the fourth one.Whoopee. These are not cheap items, and even if they were less costly, a 75% failure rate is quite unacceptable.If they really functioned as they should, they would be fabulous for not only marinating in short order, but storing other items as well.All the round canisters and the wide-mouth jar sealer work exceedingly well, but I'll not buy any more "marinators" until there is a successful improvement in design.

A must have item
When it comes to infusing flavor and marinting foods this is a must have item.It quickly infuses flavors without some of the drawbacks of long term exposure of some marinades. Acids and salts can breakdown foods over time and change the texture, composition and taste.This handy item does the job quickly and preserves the fresh flavors of both the primary food (meat, fish, poultry) and the fresh ingrediants used in the marinade.For summer BBQ is is the ticket for keeping foods moist.Instead of brining cut up chicken for hours try 1/2 in the marinator, then on to the grill. Marinating vegitables for the grill also works excellent and is quick and easy. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This large microwave oven services the family that is constantly eating on the run but has gourmet tastes that go beyond packaged frozen dinners. While the oven takes up some counter space (measurements are 21-7/8 by 11-15/16 by 19-7/16 inches), much of that space can be attributed to the spacious interior capacity of 1.6 cubic feet, which can fit larger entertainment-sized casserole dishes. The oven operates on a powerful 1,250 watts for quicker cooking and defrosting and has an attractive stainless-steel front and reflective door that looks appropriate in a professional-style kitchen.Read more

Excellent Microwave
I recently received this microwave and I must say that it is the best one that I have owned to date.The Turbo-Inverter defrost works amazing.The first piece of chicken I tried to defrost cooked ever so slightly around the edges.The instruction manual says you may need to shield the edges with foil, since I have started doing that it defrosts chicken without cooking it...something that I never thought possible.
Great microwave
Just got one of these and it is wonderful. Easy to use, powerful and looks great.
Super microwave, even better price
A reviewer below wrote that this microwave is green.It is not, only the protective plastic that also covers the vents is green. Before you use the microwave it is necessary to remove the plastic or the microwave cannot vent properly.It is stainless steel.Its odd timing dial becomes a blessing once you get used to putting in the time by dial rather than punching it in to set. I have had to reduce the power level since it heats so efficiently.Very good, nice looking machine. ... Read more
